Discover your pathway to becoming a skilled accountant and a trusted professional in the world of finance with the Master of Science in Accountancy from Saint Peter’s University. Our comprehensive program equips you with the knowledge and expertise needed to excel in the ever-evolving field of accounting.

Our master’s in accountancy program stands out with its distinctive focus on risk management and compliance, preparing you to tackle the growing complexities of the corporate landscape. With many states now requiring 150 total credits to sit for the CPA exam, our master of accountancy degree—when combined with a 120 credit-hour undergraduate accounting degree—fulfills the necessary course hours.

Saint Peter’s also offers a combined master’s in accountancy and Master of Business Administration option, allowing you to expand your knowledge in accounting, risk management and compliance while complementing the skills gained in the MBA program.
